Situated within a community featuring expansive lots and specific perimeter restrictions, the Prisma House emerges as an architectural testament where every facade is purposefully visible. Opting for a design that carries forth simplicity, we chose a pronounced geometric silhouette that complies seamlessly with local regulations, aligning perfectly with its orientation and the picturesque vistas it overlooks.


The soul of the house is directed towards a south-facing side garden, seamlessly extending the public area into the outdoors. The ground level features a sheltered terrace which transitions to an open expanse on the upper bedroom level.


The main facade has been artistically crafted to play with perspective, altering its appearance based on the observer's vantage point. This results in an abstract, yet elegantly simple visual representation that intentionally veils the house's inner workings and activities.


Inside, the social area flows uninterrupted, with subtle level shifts creating varying ceiling heights tailored to the function of each space. This harmonious journey culminates in a staircase that leads to an intermediate-level home cinema, with the primary bedrooms poised on the first level.
